How do sound and meaning converge? And what does it mean for your writing? This workshop will look at the sense our body makes of sound and how that translates into emotion and tone. That knowledge can help you identify why something “sounds” right or wrong and help you choose words that match intent and narrative flow. We will look at examples in poetry and fiction and try a few exercises ourselves to see what happens when our words become a sounding board for sense.
